who are you?

How do you sign your letters?

Best,Love,Sincerely,Yours Truly,

I have always ended my letters like this:

not sure who I copied this from years and years agothe summer I was fifteenmy head most likely buried in library booksof some famous person to anotherbut I did and it has become more than a signatureit's my signaturelike a familiar perfume pulling your head across a crowded roomor quirky fashion choices that reverb in tiny taverns

But for family and friends I generally go with "love." People expect it - and really, you can never go wrong with love. Unless you're writing a thank you note after an interview of course. Then I'm "sincerely" all the way.
